Decorating On The Prairie: Utility Room

'Decorating On The Prairie' 

does the laundry.

Heard that sayin'

~it all comes out in the wash~

Doin' the laundry

got easier after remodeling the Utility room
came to fruition and was done.

December 2006 was the beginning of living a dream 

for my Husband who wanted to live in a stone house.

We had been in the house just about a year

when he tore into the Utility room.

Under the floor he went to work on plumbing matters.

Beaded board on the walls.

Ceramic tile on the floor.

Coat rack built.

Crown molding up.

Washer and dryer in place.

Take a peek.

AFTER

Under the floor he went.  I'm so thankful he didn't get stuck.

Glad this room is finished.

A previous post from way back has more detail:

Wish there was a machine 

that folded the laundry for you.

Thanks for stoppin' by.

Having a good attitude and a sense of humor 

makes the laundry go faster.

Psalm 51:1 and 2

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: 

according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

~SUPER DUPER~ 

Once in a blue moon, I come across a super buy.  

While visiting a Atchinson, Kansas Thrift Shop, 

my shopping cart went directly to the shelves of goods.

  On the shelf were some beautiful white china 

and out of my mouth came, "Whoaaah, Buggay!"  

Stopped my shopping cart and immediately 

started placing the dishes in it.

"I hit the momma lobe!"

Nothing was marked.

When I asked what the dishes were priced, 

     the salesclerk said, 

"Just a minute.  I have to count them."

"That will be $5." 

I said, "Sold!"

and away I went.

After the Kitchen is finished and my Dining room 

returns to being a Dining room,

I'll be delighted to open my home for a Tea Party in The Flint Hills.

Sometimes 'Decorating On The Prairie'  

puts a smile on my face,

Enough For A Small Party

While looking for info about tea, I came across this tid bit of information:   Called “Nana”,  
mint tea is the most popular infusion in the Holy land.  

There’s a tea called “Nana Maria” which includes 
 mint, marjoram, lemon grass, savory, sage and rose petals.  

It’s good for restoring energy, and acts as a decongestant.  

It also contains antioxidants, which may help to prevent cancer.  
The herbs for the tea all grow well in Galilee.

Made in Japan

Thinking ahead for the Holidays......decorating doesn't have to cost a fortune.  Candy Canes turned upside down and placed up against the base of a candle on a saucer then tying a ribbon around it causes a pleasant sight.  Pretty simple and pretty to look at.  Festive!

DECORATING ON THE PRAIRIE: Old Girl Comes Home To Live With Us

Decorating On The Prairie made room for an old gal to move in with us.  She needs some work done on her, but we're glad she has come our way.  We brought her home as part of our Wedding Anniversary Celebration.  Husband spied her at our favorite Thrift Shoppe and told me about her.  It took no effort to convince her to move in with us, an old married couple. 

Later we will have work done on her.  Much later.

Some details:

How do you prefer to decorate your HOME?  

Do you find yourself bringing home the same 'ole thing 

or something new?  

RULE OF THUMB:  

Decorate and fill your HOME with what you like.

God bless you and your HOME,

You know my sitting down and my rising up,
